Tor

Tor is an encrypted anonymising network that makes it harder to intercept internet communications, or see where communications are coming from or going to.

In order to use the WikiLeaks public submission system as detailed above you can download the Tor Browser Bundle, which is a Firefox-like browser available for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux and pre-configured to connect using the anonymising system Tor.

Tails

If you are at high risk and you have the capacity to do so, you can also access the submission system through a secure operating system called Tails. Tails is an operating system launched from a USB stick or a DVD that aim to leaves no traces when the computer is shut down after use and automatically routes your internet traffic through Tor. Tails will require you to have either a USB stick or a DVD at least 4GB big and a laptop or desktop computer.

Tips

Our submission system works hard to preserve your anonymity, but we recommend you also take some of your own precautions. Please review these basic guidelines.

1. Contact us if you have specific problems

If you have a very large submission, or a submission with a complex format, or are a high-risk source, please contact us. In our experience it is always possible to find a custom solution for even the most seemingly difficult situations.

2. What computer to use

If the computer you are uploading from could subsequently be audited in an investigation, consider using a computer that is not easily tied to you. Technical users can also use Tails to help ensure you do not leave any records of your submission on the computer.

3. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

1. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

2. Act normal

If you are a high-risk source, avoid saying anything or doing anything after submitting which might promote suspicion. In particular, you should try to stick to your normal routine and behaviour.

3. Remove traces of your submission

If you are a high-risk source and the computer you prepared your submission on, or uploaded it from, could subsequently be audited in an investigation, we recommend that you format and dispose of the computer hard drive and any other storage media you used.

In particular, hard drives retain data after formatting which may be visible to a digital forensics team and flash media (USB sticks, memory cards and SSD drives) retain data even after a secure erasure. If you used flash media to store sensitive data, it is important to destroy the media.

If you do this and are a high-risk source you should make sure there are no traces of the clean-up, since such traces themselves may draw suspicion.

4. If you face legal action

If a legal action is brought against you as a result of your submission, there are organisations that may help you. The Courage Foundation is an international organisation dedicated to the protection of journalistic sources. You can find more details at https://www.couragefound.org.

We had Cretz talk to Giacomo for this one and it turned out well, granted NYT was probably predisposed to support our
effort but Gene gave her more ammo. We're doing more of this engagement with the editorial writers. Go team!

The Libya Campaign
Four months into the NATO air campaign, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi is still in power, protected by loyalists
and mercenaries. Americans are weary of war, and patience in Europe is also wearing thin. But NATO must not
give up.
If Colonel Qaddafi is allowed to have his way, thousands more Libyans will die. The credibility of NATO and
this country would also be severely damaged. Colonel Qaddafi, who has a long history of sponsoring
international terrorism, is not one to let bygones be bygones.
There is progress. The make-shift rebel army — aided by British, French and Italian advisers and armed by
France and Qatar — is slowly improving. NATO strikes on military command centers, including Colonel
Qaddafi's compound in Tripoli, have done real damage. This week's International Criminal Court indictment of
Colonel Qaddafi, one of his sons and his intelligence chief on charges of crimes against humanity should be a
warning to all of his cronies.
A naval blockade and international sanctions are increasingly having an effect. Oil revenues, the government's
main income, are down by two-thirds. There are reports of long gasoline lines in Tripoli and rising bread prices.
On Thursday, people fleeing Tripoli told of overnight gunfire and signs of revolt.
The Qaddafi clan is watching closely for signs that NATO's will is flagging. Italy's recent call for a cease-fire
(which could give government forces time to regroup) and second-guessing by the Arab League's outgoing
leader, Amr Moussa, are not helpful. Neither are Congressional efforts to force an end to American support for
the air campaign.
President Obama was wrong to ignore the War Powers Act, but that should not stop the House and Senate from
adopting the Kerry-McCain resolution authorizing the mission to continue for another year.
NATO must help, but the Libyan people are the only ones who can bring the regime down.

The rebels need more military advisers and weapons and access to $30 billion in frozen Qaddafi government
funds. The United States and other countries need to remove the legal obstacles to getting that money.
The alliance should extend sanctions to more of Colonel Qaddafi's cronies and the subsidiaries of state-owned
enterprises. Washington and its partners should also help the rebels start building the political and civil
institutions they will need to keepa post-Qaddafi Libya from descending into chaos.
There has been recent talk by all sides about a possible political deal between the rebels and the government.
We are eager to see an end to the fighting. But Washington and NATO must stand firmly with the rebels and
reject any solution that does not involve the swift ouster of Colonel Qaddafi and real freedom for Libyans.
